KJohnson Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 Wondering how many bath bombs you ladies make in one batch??I have 100 Wedding Cake scented Bath bombs to make for a wedding and Im wondering how much of the mix you can safely mix up at one time. Right now I only make 5 bombs at a time...any suggestions?Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shani Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 In one batch of bath bombs, I can make 10 moving at a moderate pace. If I move slower the mixture will start to dry out.HTHShani Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumpy Girl Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 I get 10-12 out of a double batch without a hitch... I could probably add another single batch and triple the recipe before it dried out, but don't want to risk it. I use the same size mold as you Kris. I double the recipe.

Crafty1_AJ Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 Heh heh. I am a slowpoke. Even when I move fairly fast, I can only crank out 7 before the mixture starts to dry out. My batches make 7, and I have to hurry to get those done within a 10-minute time frame. Jenny makes quite a few in one minute, and I just get 1 or 2.

OutlandishLady Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 I can't make bath bombs... waaaaah I can, however, make about 7-8 explosive ugly tub turds at a time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindsaycb Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 Right now my batches are only getting 4 6oz bombs at a time...but I do three in a row, so if there's any left, it gets incorporated into the next. Usually by the time I'm done I have 13-14 bombs in lets say 30 minutes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KristinesShower Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 rofl!! tubturds - I love it!My single batches are 20 (sometimes I get 21 or 22) and my double (two color) batches are 40 (sometimes I get 42 or 43)I would recommend doing exactly what you are doing now. Even though you can only get 5 out of your batch, I bet you make those 5 perfectly don't you? Why fix something that isn't broke? With doubling your batch you may very well screw 'em all up because you can't move fast enough, the mixture dries out too fast, or just isn't the same as the batch with 5.Hope I am making some sense to you. I've wanted to ramp up my production for the longest time and actually bought a press that would help me do that. Turns out it takes me LESS time to make them with the meatballer than with the press.

KJohnson Posted May 25, 2006 Author Share Posted May 25, 2006 Thanks everyone for your input. I think I will stay with my 5 bombs at a time. might take a while to get to 100...but they will be worth it!Thanks~! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutlandishLady Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 That's just mean AJ Y'all know you're just jealous 'cuz I'm gonna trademark the expression "tub turds" Coming soon to a store near you......... Think I should use some cocoa powder when I make them?!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crafty1_AJ Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 Actually when one of my kids was a baby, we had a REAL tub turd incident ... then there was that time I found a wee dried "surprise" in my toddler's dresser drawer ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lindsaycb Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 oh tub turds...yep, I've had one kid pick it up & try and eat it before I got there to see what happened. gee, I forgot that. I have to put that in a book somewhere. OH WAIT, that would require starting a book on each one. I can see the marketing for tub turds though. Love it!

KristinesShower Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 Ahhh, can't wait until I have those moments with my little one. Knowing my crazy dogs, they will be the ones eating them LOLOh, this is gross *rofl* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CareBear Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 My dear, until you have kids (who are old enough to do this stuff) you have NO idea what gross is! Funny thing is most of the time you aren't grossed out. Then you tell your story at a party with lots of childless people and they all look at you like you have 2 heads!Ahhh, can't wait until I have those moments with my little one.
